SEDALIA FAIR.
A Grand Success i'm all Particu-
lars and In Every Depart
ment-NOtes, &c.

Moberly Monitor.
A Monitor representative yesterday
went to Sedalia to take in the fair
and get birds eye view of the
Queen City of Missouri. He had not
more than got off the train before he
found that he was in a live city. Each
and every train that arrived at the
magnificent Union Depot was loaded
to the decks with people from the ad-
jacent country for q hundred miles
around.
AS it had been advertised that on
Big Thursday, the 18th, all the stores
would close at noon, the majority of
those desiring to make purchases went
to the stores early to do their shop
ping and the business men we're we'll
pleased and satisfied that they had
giving a helping hand to build up a
great fair. They closed their doors at
noon as agreed and went to the
grounds and enjoyed a half day with
their friends.
The question was asked by many
stranger, "How do we get to the fair
grounds ?" Take the street car on
the corner, it will only cost you five
cents" was the reply. The cars, seven
in number, were crowded both ways
from morning until night.
The crowd was estimated to be
between ten and twelve thousand.
We must here state that the man.
agement of the association deserve
great credit for the manner in which
they have conducted the fair. Perfect
order prevailed throughout the day.
Each and every member of the asso-
citation, as we'll ss the entire city did
what they could to make the stranger
feel at home. The fair was
success in every particular. The
display in floral hall was very fine,
each and every article being Hastily ar
ranged, and most of the leading bust
ness men made displays. There was
never. at any fair in the state, finer
lot of cattle on exhibition than at this
fair.
Fast horses were there without num-
Der from all parts of this state and
Kansas. The premiums were liberal
and the races were conducted perfect
ly on the square. The music by the
Sedalia band was immense. No gam
bling or bad order was allowed and,
consequently the day passed off pleas
antly to all who atten ded.
THE CITY.
Sedalia should feel proud of the
name tQueen City of Missouri" and
it is great pity that it is not the cap.
itol of the state.
NEW COURT HOUSE.
Sedalia, the county seat of Pettis
county, has the finest court house in
the state or adjoining states. 1t was
built in 1884 at cost of $780,
900. 1t is a perfect model in every
respect and conveniently arranged,
being thoroughly fire proof and built
in the latest design. 1t is kept neat
anu Clean.
HOTELS.
Sedalia is blessed with good hotels,
but one of the most popular houses of
the city is Sicher's, which has a fine
reputation. Mr.. James M. Doyle, an
old time conductor on the NJ, X. &
T., is one of its proprietors. This
fact alone makes it headquarters for
railroad and commercial men and the
newspaper men of the state. He
bushes when newspaper man puts
bis name on the register, and winks
at the porter and tells him to "treat
this man welI-give him the best,
collest room, and put him at the
best table. Order him what he wants,
wet or dry. and make no mistake. |
See that their wants are attended to-"
The tables at this popular house can
not be beaten in the state, and it
makes Jim fat to see his guests so well
cared for.
